April is National School Library Month, a time to recognize the vital role our school libraries play in supporting student learning, curiosity, and growth. 📚
School libraries are more than just places to check out books. They are welcoming spaces where students build research skills, explore new ideas, and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Our librarians and library staff partner with teachers to support classroom instruction, guide students in finding reliable information, and foster creativity and critical thinking.
Huge thanks to our librarians for supporting student growth and curiosity every day. 💫

Wishing the NHS Winterguard the best of luck! 🚩✨
In their inaugural season with the Atlantic Indoor Association, our team has been on a steady rise—from a 2nd place finish at Landstown on Feb. 14 to improving their scores at every show since. Under the direction of Ms. Hannah Lewis, the team is now headed to the AIA North Championships at the Hampton Coliseum on March 28th!
